facebook

Never! It might be regarded the most handy way for keeping in contact with people you don't see every day but it is of course not the only one, and neither are all other ways crap. Also the fact that you are now treated as a social noob if not on there, while let's say a decade ago you would be the social noob if you would be more busy with your online profile and messages instead of real life communication and friends only enforces my dislike. But the most important reason I am not on there for me is that you get confronted with more things you don't give a shit about (babypics for instance, but also advertising, stupid games, boring messages, annoying 'friends') than stuff you actually care to read, see or would react to. That's why it always consumes more time than you think.
If I had a message to advertise or something to sell I would join

What in the fuck? :rofl:

 

yeah but the government can easily figure that information out.

I'm just saying, if someone is worried about facebook they should equally worry about information they post anywhere on the internet.

 

This site is very well indexed. Ever do a random search and get a Hip Forums link on the first page? Especially image searches for those who post those things.
It's one of the reasons we get so much crazy porn people. It's not that Hip is searchable because most places are; it's that it's got a killer high Google rating that lands it's contents on first page of searches.

I could be searching for something about beer and end up with a link to a Pressed Rat post about his life from 2009.

 

I have a fb account to keep up with family that I never see and some people I knew 100 yrs ago in school, or rather I let them think they are keeping up with me.

I like it because I put out there what I want...I NEVER put personal things on fb and what I say is a very "cleansed" version of what I'm thinking.

If I had art-work or poems (or similar) that I wanted to share with the world, I think fb would be ideal.

My dial-up connection prevents me from playing games, and I think that is a good thing.

 

not so worried about that. I have no nerve gas hidden in my closet.

More worried about my horrible addictive tendancies.

 

You will come up in a search for nerve gas now though, and maybe they will go further from there

 

ok...I have a hypothetical question...would it be easy for the gubmint to access our personal messages?

 

contrary to popular belief you don't give up ownership of an image you post on facebook....

you are still free to use your own images for anything you want.....you can sell them to myspace and there is fuckall fb can do about it..... you still own rights to the images


sure fb can use your pics but so can you or anyone you want to let use them

 

also....fb is lame....never had....never wanted it

 

I have one because I don't and have never lived in the same neighborhood as the people I went to school with. Facebook is literally the only connection I have to those "friends"

not to say that it isn't still lame

 

I'm not saying you give up ownership for your own uses, I'm just saying you give them ownership for theirs. Which kinda sucks.

And Asmodean, sweet. Now I'm gonna get a bunch of PMs from newbies with 20 posts asking me if I can mail them some nerve gas! XD

 

Guilty of spewing my consciousness into nothingness.

Although, there is some cool shit on FB, pages like Earth Porn and Sun Gazing. There are some fucked up videos too... I watched some woman get her head cut off by a mexican the other day. It wasn't even one clean sweep, he did it with a knife and just hacked hacked hacked. You could even hear the scraping when he was going through her spine... Made me feel a little awkward to say the least.. whether it's real or not is another story, but if it was a fake it was very effective.

But yeah, I think it's a tad ironic that people here slag Facebook off.. I mean it is a black hole of time and full of random and useless information, but lets be honest, Hip is pretty much the exact same thing.


Edit: It hasn't even been removed yet :0

CAUTION: LOT'S OF FUCKING EW-NESS!!!

 

QFT:afro:

 

My friend just got in trouble for blasting an estate agency on Facebook. Made him publicly apologize on fb for rude comments or else they'd evict him and even after he still faces possible eviction. I think if the agency isn't doing their job and a man finally loses his frustration and has a rant on fb then it's a learning curve to the agency. If you're not looking after your tenants then they'll complain and they should be allowed to do so on their domain.

 

aw what the fuck

...

and no, HF is not the same thing for me. I've made good friends on HF and on facebook everyone I add is already my friend (so not making new friends), and everyone who tries to add me is not my friend or is a fake account. On HF, I get a lot more interesting articles, news and posts and when I have nothing left to post or nothing left to read, I just get off the site. On FB, I log on because I'm addicted to those little red circles, but once I'm done checking all my notifications and looking at groups and stuff, once there's no reason left for me to be on the site, I still always find myself scrolling infinitely and wasting my time. Like they're both a waste of time in a way, but I find wasting my time a lot more rewarding on HF and I waste much less of it. On FB I'm just in a stupor and I get this crippling feeling of depression while I'm on it.

 

Actually Facebook is encrypted via tls(ssl) and has passwords enabled to access many accounts, it is much easier to data mine hipforums.

 

How to leave facebook.

http://www.howtoleavefacebook.com/

At the end of the article are some things to do instead of spending an inordinate amount of time on facebook or other web forums.

Take a walk.
Meet a lady/gentleman.
Marry them and have a family.
Attend a local sports match and root for the home team (Optional: Root for the away team).
Sleep in.
Visit 4 of your actual friends, instead of reading about your 400 Facebook friends.

 

i'm going to create a glenglen facebook page just to make a liar out of you.

i feel like facebook would actually be a good place to meet a transsexual.
